The Clearfog GT-8K board is capable of supplying power up to 2A to SFP
modules. Make that explicit in the device-tree. Without this property
current kernel does not allow SFP modules that require more than 1A.

I do hope you're aware that current is not the same thing as power!
You say above "2A" which is a current, but the maximum power figure
below is "2W".  Given that modules are supplied with 3.3V, and
Power = Voltage x Current, this really doesn't work out!

Please can you correct both of your patches for accuracy in this
regard, thanks.

My bad. I'll fix and resend.

Thanks for reviewing.
